Making knitted floor mats using knitting needles. Step-by-step instruction

Yarn, knitting needles and a pattern are all that is needed in order to knit a small rug into a living room.

Compared with Soviet counterparts, today's rugs have a more decorative function. People realized that small and bright paths are much more profitable to emphasize the richness of the interior than bulky wool products on all horizontal and vertical surfaces do.

Of course, getting a soft Persian rug alone will not work, but even basic knitting skills will be enough to make an original and bright piece for the floor or the back of a chair. For this, you only need a suitable scheme with a detailed description of the knitting process and some free time, and all other materials for needlework can be purchased at a specialty store.

How to knit a rug with knitting needles?

It is quite simple to make a rug with needles, if you know where to start, namely, with the choice of design, materials for manufacturing and the place where the path will be located.

For kitchen rugs, which will often be washed, it is best to use yarn made from acrylic or cotton.

These materials best tolerate the chemical effects of laundry detergents. Therefore, the product of them will not lose its shape and color even at the 30th stage of washing.

Thicker and warmer carpet models are used in bedrooms or living rooms. They are usually more voluminous and have a complex pattern. You can get this effect if you use wool yarn. It constantly keeps its shape, and the threads themselves fit so closely together that they do not form empty spaces.

The only drawback of wool is that it is quickly wiped. To extend its durability, wool should be chosen not from purely natural fibers, but with the addition of synthetics. But this option is better suited for corridors between rooms, where people most often pass.

Schemes with the description are intended for beginners who want to know how to tie a rug with their own hands. Such schemes are similar to the usual, for the manufacture of any other products on the spokes. And contain the same conventions.

Only the assembly method is different. So knitted rugs with their own hands can be divided into the following types.

1. Round. Their knitting starts from the center and continues in a spiral. In this way, you can make a track on the floor of any size. The main thing is to have enough threads and place on the needles.

   The main thing is to choose the color, pattern and material in order to get a unique and solid composition.

2. Square. The rug is made according to the standard method. On the spokes dial a certain number of loops. They will determine the width of the track.

   For rugs that make the bed, it is good to use yarn, acrylic. They are softer, and legs will be nice to attack.

3. National teams. The rug consists of several parts that fit separately. After that, they gather and form a single pattern.

   The motif product looks good in the living room and in the kitchen, where it is easy to see all the details of the overall picture.

In addition to these methods, it is not difficult to make a rug from bows, pompons, plaits, belts, thick yarn, or even ordinary scrap materials, etc.

Knitting rug for beginners masters

As for beginners, who have not yet knitted complex designs, it is better to start making knitting mats in the shape of a regular square or rectangle. This base is basic, to which the decor in the form of a fringe or braid fits equally.

Instruments:

• 400 grams of yarn;
• needles 4 mm;
• hook 4 mm.

Manufacturing:

• on the knitting needle, you need to dial 58 regular loops + another 2 edging;
• next come two rapport related to scheme 1. it is called “putanka”;
• the structure of the braid is shown in diagram 2, after it comes another 2 rapport;
• so you need to knit at least 42 cm of the product;
• The fringe completes the composition and is done through every second loop.

Round rug

The easiest way to knit a round rug is a spiral. But at the same time, he is a real test for the master of the master.

Instruments:

1. hook;
2. yarn of several colors;
3. knitting needles.

Manufacturing

Before you start knitting a round rug with needles, you need to make a base for it. For this you need a hook. With it, knits a small circle with a diameter of 20 cm.

Now you need to take the needles and dial on them only 15 loops. And start to knit them in the usual way. On the 10th row, you need to reduce the length of the fabric to 10 loops, turn the product over and thus knit 10 more loops. Then again it is necessary to increase the number of loops to 15. This alternation will be accompanied by the entire process of making a cloth for the rug.

Wedge rug

A wedge rug is a tricky job that needs instruction. After all, weaving here occurs simultaneously from the front side and from the wrong side.

Instruments:

• cotton or any other yarn;
• circular needles No. 7, length 60, 80 cm.

Manufacturing

• On the needles dial 50 loops in three threads.
• Select 10 loops to impose design on the scheme.
• On the remaining 40, the usual short rows are used: on the front side up to the last 3 loops, the next 2 loops are knitted into one front.
• Turn the fabric and continue to the end of the row with front loops to the last 4 loops and the next 2 loops are knitted into one.
• The next row is knitted one by one to the extreme 5, and the next 2 loops are connected into one face loop.
• The next row is repeated to the last six.
• The principle continues until 38 rows are knotted on the spoke.
• The following scheme will look like 2 loops combined in facial, 1 facial, 1 facial and ends with 1 double crochet loop.
• Repeat the new algorithm to the last loop, and then the canvas turns again;
• The next row fits on the wrong side of the scheme.
• Nakida from the previous rows are not turned. Holes are formed in their place;
• The work again involved 50 loops.

Thus, you need to link 11 wedges and 22 rapport. When all the parts are ready, they are sewn together with ordinary sewing threads.

Star Rug

For the manufacture of this rug will need several shades of thread. To make the picture more voluminous.

Instruments:

• 4 color yarn;
• knitting needles;

Manufacturing

First, parts are made of yellow threads. To do this, the needles recruited 5 loops. They are knitted with garter stitch. In each subsequent row, after the first and before the final loop, there is an increase. Exactly one more loop. Thus, each row adds 2 loops in the width of the product.

The next detail (of a dark yellow hue), on the contrary, decreases 2 loops from one side, and 2 loops from the other.

The blue shade will be located next to the light yellow. Therefore, he must repeat his bend. Thus, the loops on one side decrease, and the teeth form on the other. Repeat these steps need at least 4 more times. The same thing needs to be done with the details with blue color. With a corresponding bend in relation to the dark yellow shade.

The next stage is the build. All items have a vertical pattern, obtained from the method of weaving. Therefore, during the assembly of the product you need to pay attention to it, and place the parts vertically according to the figure, in a checkerboard pattern.
